Journey to the city of the King

As Christian and Hopeful near the end of their journey, they glimpse the Beautiful City and are filled with joy. Along the way, they meet Ignorance, who believes his good life will be enough to enter the city without passing through the cross. At the final test, Christian and Hopeful must cross the River of Death. Christian struggles with fear, but Hopeful encourages him to remember the cross and the King’s love. Safely reaching the gates, they present their rolls of assurance and are welcomed in with great celebration. Ignorance, lacking assurance, is turned away. The story ends with a clear call to trust fully in the King’s salvation.
